Do vitamins/supplements help or hurt?

Hi everyone... I have been taking a bunch of supplements since this hair loss and scalp pain started 6 months ago. I had more blood tests done last week and my Vitamin B12 was very high. This caused me to have hives, itchiness, redness, hot feeling, etc... I did more damage than good. My Vitamin D3 was low and my doc told me to take 4000 units a day to boost it back up. I know Vitamin D has a lot to do with your mood and depression but I also read today it can cause scalp pain and hair loss if you are low. I have felt slightly better the past few days since quitting my Complex B-Vitamin and increasing my D3. Does anyone know of any vitamins that have helped them with their hair health or scalp pain? I lost a lot of hair yesterday...or at least to me it seemed to be a lot!

Thank you emmettbrown for your reply! I stopped all the supplements I was taking because I think it was just too much and very expensive too. My hair loss has slowed and the derm said it is growing back but very slowly. I really appreciate your advice and knowledge on this issue! I hope you are well....
